ABOUT
BEN J MUNDAY
I am interested in unlocking our dormant potential, developing physical and cognitive skills and cultivating a more robust and caring relationship with ourselves and our environment. I am a big believer in the potential of self, instinct, wisdom and creative energy to transform our experience of life.
It all started when the first punch hit my face…
I was 15 when I got beaten up. Physically the bruises left me, psychologically I was a mess. As my mind declined, so did my body, I got sick, 2 lessons I learnt:
-
The impact (good or bad) one human can have on another.
-
That the mind and body were inextricably connected.
For years, I was unaware it was me who was in control of my ‘story’ that made my experience. Through working with the relationship with myself, the awareness of my thoughts, feelings and actions, I made the choice for a better life .
I became fascinated by people, their stories and their purpose. To learn more, I traveled around the globe listening, working on 4 continents from big business to early stage start-up, I even started my own business listening to peoples lives and what had shaped them.
Being exposed to much happiness, wells of sadness and many (many) lost in between. I learnt the underlying thread to success and happiness was known by those that knew themselves best. Those with clarity inside and out.
I’m passionate in my work to help others put themselves first. To help them listen, to gain clarity and share their gifts. Only when we are strong, can we can contribute to others - whether in work teams, our family, the broader community and even globally.
